Our family of four kids and four adults had an absolutely wonderful time at Casa Mesakeca! Everything was exactly as described in the listing, right down to the visits from howler monkeys and the proximity to an excellent beach. When the power went out our first night (not a typical occurrence), the property managers were incredibly responsive and fixed it immediately. I can't recommend Casa and Samara highly enough!

This is our second time staying here. I would give it an 11/10 if possible. We stayed here with friends and family, there was ample space for all of us. The whole house is amazing from the bedrooms to the kitchen and the pool. Perfect place in the perfect location. We can’t wait to return.

Beautiful home in great location

We enjoyed the house. We had a few hiccups with the appliances but nothing that truly impacted our stay. It is a nice property with beautiful views with howler monkeys in the trees. Pool was a favorite of our kids and the location is just minutes from Samara beach access and the shopping and restaurants.

Thanks for this review Yvette. We appreciate your understanding with the appliance issues. Costa Rica is a challenging place to be electronics and electrical appliances but we do our best to keep everything up and running. We’re happy you were able to enjoy yourself despite the dishwasher problem. And thanks for choosing Casa Mesakeca for your family gathering. :-)

Our family of 10 just completed a terrific ten day stay at Casa Mesakeca. The host (Sue) was very gracious and easy to communicate with and the local manager was equally helpful and communicative. The house is beautiful, spacious and well appointed with everything needed for an enjoyable stay. We had plenty of room to spread out as needed and the large living area, kitchen, dining area and pool also made it easy for the 10 of us to enjoy family meals and fun. The setting is peaceful and the drive to town and the beach is short (5 minutes or so). There are sufficient pool and beach toys, chairs etc. on site to support fun in or beside the water in either location. We all agreed it was a comfortable and enjoyable place to stay and we’d definitely be interested in rebooking the next time we return to Samara.

Great family vacation!

This spacious home provided a grounding home base for our adventure to Costa Rica. We are a family of 8 and it met all of our needs There was more than enough living space inside and out-to be together and also take restful space- including a beautiful pool and a well equipped kitchen. The host and property manager were very attentive. It was fantastic!

Perfect spot in the jungle!

Fantastic home! Everything was laid out perfectly and we were comfortable. The outdoor space was our favorite as we listened to the sounds of the jungle and played in the pool. The close proximity to town made it easy for us to get groceries and meet up for excursions.

Lovely house in the woods

We had a fantastic stay at Casamekeca. The house is spacious and was perfect for our group of nine people. The kitchen and laundry area are clean, organized and well stocked with the necessities. Sámara is a short drive away. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our stay. It’s a beautiful home and gorgeous location in the woods.

Beautiful home, would definitely recommend….

We came for 7 nights with a group of 10. This house had everything we needed or wanted for our trip. The host was super easy to communicate with and the property manager (Tess) was more than helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed the wildlife and the secluded location. We felt that we was close enough to the main part of town but still had our own little world.

Great Stay at Casa Mesakeca

House was fantastic for our family of 4. Enjoyed the pool and patio when we weren’t out experiencing everything the Samara area has to offer. Kitchen was very well stocked with anything you could need. We were greeted with a nice welcome basket of coffee and snacks. House was very clean. Would not hesitate to stay here again if ever back in the Samara area.
